Bulletin

Another side racking up the wins are AEK Boco, with the Western League newbies claiming
a narrow 1-0 victory away at Almondsbury. The vital goal came from the spot, with Nathan
Hall making no mistake from 12 yards to continue his side’s unbeaten start to the campaign.
Unfortunately, Devizes are on the other end of the form book and remain without a victory
so far, after goals from Brad Miles and Elliot Bevis saw them lose 2-1 at home to Gillingham
Town. There was also a 2-1 victory for Bishops Lydeard, with goals from Adam Willis and
Paulo Borges early in the second half helping them beat Wells City to stretch their winning
run to two matches.
Radstock ran out 3-2 winners at home to Sherborne in an entertaining affair, condemning
the Zebras to their first defeat of the campaign. Craig Sheppard scored in either half for the
home side, with George Walker-Wiltshire also getting on the scoresheet, while Alex Murphy
and Aaron White both found the back of the net in defeat for the unfortunate Sherborne.
Tytherington Rocks seem to be very much feast of famine at the moment, with their 4-1
win away at Longwell Green Sports helping them leapfrog their hosts on the league
ladder. The Rocks are capable of conceding plenty of goals, but are also proving to be strong
at the other end of the field also, with Nathan Croot, Ethan Johnson, Ryan Sharpe and Rahib
Rehman all scoring in Monday afternoon’s victory. Unfortunately, the fixture between Bristol

scored in either half for the home side, with Alex Churchyard and Lewis Graham also finding
the back of the net.

FA Cup: All three remaining Western League sides were knocked out of this season’s FA Cup
following defeats against higher-ranked opposition. Exmouth were beaten 3-1 at Bolitho
Park against Truro City, with Rocky Neal, Ryan Brett and Tyler Harvey all scoring in the first
half for the home side. Shepton Mallet capitulated at home to Taunton, conceding
five goals after the interval on their way to a humbling 8-1 loss, with Toby Holmes
notching a hat-trick for the away side. Ten-man Bridgwater threatened a late
fightback away at Baskingstoke, only to concede twice in the closing stages to
lose 4-1 at the Winklebury Sports Complex. Having conceded a brace of goals to
